Amaze Salon 2

I scheduled a last minute, next day hair appointment to chop off my long hair for a shorter bob. I came in the next morning as the first person to get a hair cut as they were opening and the hairdresser that was supposed to cut my hair wasn’t even there yet. Some other lady called her and she didn’t even know she had an appointment with me? WTH?! Very frustrating as I had to be somewhere after this appointment. I’m not very particular with my hair so I went with the lady that opened the salon since her appointment was late or a no show. She cut my hair really fast and it was close enough to the photo of the haircut I wanted. I didn’t have time to fuss.
Bad communication and not very professional. If I was a walk-​in it would be understandable that there would be a wait time, but I made the effort to make an appointment. Plus a couple of my friends talk highly of this place and I found them to be disappointing. Never again.

Super nice ladies! I had never noticed the salon. I thought it was part of the Chopperz barbers next door. Come to find they are a different salon. Colored my hair perfectly and for a steal! Thank you. Very happy.

I really don’t want to leave this salon because Lani does an ok job with very fair pricing. I have been coming here since I moved to OR 5 months ago so I am comfortable with the salon, the friendly faces and the price.
However the last two visits disappointed me.
Long story short I will give another chance and open my options to find a new salon.
Miscommunications between Kim and her team was not the first time I witness.
Today as an example she took last minute facial appointment not knowing that Lani will need the facial room to do my eyebrows and lip wax.
The other day Lani did cut my pinky finger while doing shellac and bleed a lot. She didn’t do it in purpose I know that and I felt bad for her.
And a couple of times she had to take last appointment that Kim made for her while I would be waiting in between services. I know not every customer is right and I do admit I show up late sometimes too and I called or text to let them know. Or if I need to change my time I called few days ahead so I understand they need to make money.
I do love this salon and the people and Kim! I am hoping this will be a good criticism for them to grow more so I will be keep coming, and they can improve their services.
I know they have many loyal customers for years but I do hope they get better and grow bigger
Another try from me… Fingers crossed!

Can’t decide how many stars I should give this place, if any. Having moved here recently from LA, I needed to find a new hair stylist (the worst part about moving; period!!) I was looking for a place that cut Asian hair and since this place was owned and operated by Asians (Vietnamese) with good reviews, I decided to take a chance. FYI this is not for the owner but another lady who cut hair here.
I had grown out my hair to about my armpit but it was a pretty straight and boring cut. I went in for a «short layers» cut or layers with a short distance between the longest layer and the shortest. I specifically asked for not choppy and no face framing layers. What did I get? Face framing layers and crazy layers all over my head with the shortest one hitting the top of my ears!!! F*ck! Maybe it would look better after a wash, I thought. Nope. Unable to look at the terrible blunt layers (it literally looked like I hacked my hair with a knife all over), I rushed to visit a different salon to get it fixed. I wasn’t going to return to this place again to fix a botched job. I mean, there was so much of my fine, straight Asian hair (and I have a lot of it because although I have fine single strands, I have a thick head of hair altogether) to work with from the start, yet she couldn’t even give a simple short layer cut.
The lady at the second place was horrified at the way the layers were cut, even emphasizing that she would not cut layers like that. And she said my hair was uneven and my layers were uneven. she tried her best to blend the layers and I lost some more length in my hair in the process. My hair is still in a terrible state and the layers are still too much for me, but I know the second lady did her best. There was just no saving my hair unless I went super short. I keep my hair pulled back most of the time, while I look for ways to help my hair grow back faster.
I really don’t recommend this place unless you are going in for a simple trim. And even at that, ask for the owner who at least appeared to know how to give a trim (she was with a customer while I was there). I’m never going back to this place although it’s so close to home. Seriously, I have never had such a bad cut in my life!!! In LA, there are an abundance of salons that cater to Asian hair for the same price as here. Even my sister, who has never had any professional training, gives better cuts and layers. I normally would go to her but she’s in WI. If you don’t want to have a F*CK THIS SH*T experience, look else where.

I’ve been getting my nails done here for a couple of years and I couldn’t be happier. It is clean, they are friendly, fast, always accommodating, even at the last minute, and do high quality work.

Too expensive for the quality of work done here.

Great place and good people! Everything about this salon is good. I can just walk in immediately they will help me.

I’ve been really happy with Kim doing my hair. She’s great, and she’s quick. I get highlights and a cut.

Worst back fill ever and most expensive!!! I should have take a picture, nails looked horrible, poorly shaped not to mention no two nails even had the same shape, thick and not smooth. Spent an hour filing and buffing them when I got home. And they charged me $ 39 for a back fill!!! Their full sets top out at $ 45, so a fill for $ 39 is outrageous!!! Conveniently their website prices don’t include a back fill or even a fill price.

Having come from Southern California were there are a plethora of Asian hair salons to choose from, finding one in Hillsboro, Oregon, was. A little daunting, to say the least. However, after stumbling on Amaze Salon 2, I can now safely say I have my go to hair salon when I need a hair cut. I have only ever had Kim cut my hair and each time she does not disappoint. I usually come with a picture or two of what I want and let her go to work. At $ 18 + tip for a haircut, she’s really only $ 1 more expensive than what I get back home, and well, pretty decent haircut overall.
I have a personal preference for Asian people cutting my hair as I find that non Asian people don’t have as great of a grasp on how Asian hair is. That, and sorry, but when you cut my hair, you have to be using a razor at some point in time, or you’re doing it wrong. I kid, but seriously, that’s just what I’m used to back home. Somehow using scissors alone to cut my hair, just doesn’t quite turn out as nice.
I can’t really vouch for the other services here as I only ever get haircuts, but I definitely recommend Kim if you’re looking for a decent, inexpensive haircut.

I went to amaze salon 2 scared to get a cut like last summers at a different salon. i walked in and was greeted by kim. she said she could definatly do the layered look I was looking for. well she did and I luv it. i had told her I didn’t want any length taken off, and she didn’t she did it perfectly and no length gone at all. i will def be back to have kim as my regular hair dresser. thanks kim.

Worst pedicure EVER! The salon didn’t look clean and the tools looked dirty. They didn’t even include paraffin. I will not be going back!

I got my nails done today and they did such a bad job. I can see the nail color on the skin around my nails. They hardly had any colors to choose from. I am very disappointed and I don’t see myself going back ever.

This is a worst place ever. Anybody considers this place for a haircut, please DO NOT GO.
I made an appointment for a haircut and arrived there at exact time. When I walked in no one seemed to care about me, so I had to tell an employee that I am here for the haircut. But they said the stylist was running late and told me to wait about 15 min. I was little not happy but decided to wait. However, after 15 min had passed she still did no show up and nobody was telling me anything. I asked them again if she was going to come and all they were saying was they don’t know. The most annoying thing was that nobody apologized me or anything, but just said they don’t know and I could just leave if I wanted to.
I will never go back to this place that treats a customer horribly like this.

This review is for cut and color only.
I came in awhile back ago for a trim and was turned away because they were busy. Lesson learned, I recommend making an appointment for any of their services. I made an appointment with Kim. She’s is amazing! She listened to how i wanted my hair colored and if we weren’t on the same page, she pulled out the books to show me. There was no absolute confusion in the process. I asked for a medium brown color and some blonde streaks under. She was very careful applying the dye. When there were some on my face, she wiped it off for me. I was nervous when she was washing my hair because I had a bad experience; the stylist got water all over my face, in my ear and I was dripping wet. Kim was super careful. No water in my ears or on my face. My make-​up was in tact. She was gently with my scalp and I no longer fear the wash bowl. She cleaned up the dye that was on hairline and face. After the blowout and styling, She trimmed my bangs and showed me how to style it. Amazing work and she’s super attentive. All that for $ 90. I love it! It’s cheaper than the place I went to back home. I think i’ve found my new stylist!

I have been here several times and have always had a great experience. I go here to get my eyebrows waxed and they always get me in right away and do a great job. Also got a fantastic pedicure at a great price. I’d definitely recommend them!

Go see Tina and get a shellac French manicure. I’ve been getting this manicure from her for about 4 mos now & receive compliments all the time on my nails. She’s thorough, clean & professional (like ALL the women in the salon). Paraffin is included in the manicure. Heavenly.
Kim, the owner, remembers her regulars and greets them by name.
The salon is small, intimate and friendly. The atmosphere is relaxed. I love unwinding after work with a mani or pedi. Check ‘em out!

I have been going to Amaze 2 anytime I’m living in the area since just after they first opened. I started going in for acrylic nails, and they always did a great job for me. The techs were all wonderful at explaining everything that was going on and giving me options so I had the finished nail that *I* wanted. They weren’t rough with my hands or careless at all.
I no longer wear acrylic nails but I still go back to get my hair cut by Kim. She is the only person I will go to willingly for a cut or color these days. When I lived out of state I paid two or three times as much as she charges and never left as happy as I do when I go to Amaze.
Kim is great because she will listen to your ideas and work with you to get the style you really want with your hair. I’ve also been able to ask her, «Kim, what do *you* think I should do?» and I know she won’t let me down. She also never has that attitude that some stylists will get with you if you don’t want what they think is right. She is not a pushy salesperson, and most importantly: she gets my cut and color right every time, no lie.
Bonus: All the ladies, Kim and Vinnie (?) especially, are a ton of fun. Go with a friend, when the salon is not too crowded, and prepare for a good laugh.

My go-​to place for nails and pedis! I’ve had the darndest time finding a regular, trustworthy place I feel welcome and happy getting my nails done. The prices here are reasonable, the staff are so friendly and funny, and I haven’t had any quality problems. The pricing is reasonable and the free wax dip with pedicure is awesome! And even though I act like a baby when they dip my feet in what feels like molten lava, I LOVE the way my feet feel when they are done. Kim, Vinnie, and Mai are who really make the magic happen! They are pretty cool and you can be frank about what you want so you don’t have to leave disappointed.
I haven’t had my hair cut there, but I’m pretty sure there are quite a few regulars. You can also buy many of the colors that they use in the salon. The only downer lately, is that their massage chairs are breaking down a bit and messing with the magic.

I believe this is an extension of the Amaze Salon in Beaverton, off of Beaverton Hillsdale.
My sister had her hair done at this salon for prom and convinced me to give this salon a try. I always request Kim for my cuts. She does a great job listening to my needs and desires, giving me recommendations, and I always leave completely satisfied and happy with my result.
I’ve been back twice since, going back every 2 months for a trim.
I use to pay $ 65+ in Seattle, but I pay $ 18 for a better cut here! =)
